You should be able to sue companies for gambling away their employees' lives like that.
You as in who, the shareholders that indirectly voted for it?
It's not unheard of, in certain cases in certain more civilised states it does happen.
The state should be able to sue as layoffs put strain on the social system.
Fuck the shareholders.
Who is doing the lawsuit, some unrelated third party, the employees?
The people that were laid off.
Investors are already suing Oracle right now btw, of course the legal system wouldn't have let them down.
Ah I see, that would be an interesting law. Maybe it will happen one day, and we will take it for granted like we do 8 hour work days.
